FS: Longines 1970s Octagon | Rare Black Dial | Stainless Steel | Limited

[Highendtime]

There are objects that exist merely to serve their purpose and then there are those that transcend utility becoming art, philosophy and architecture. This 1970s creation from Longines is one such piece; an icon that takes the abstract concept of time and forges it into a monument for the wrist through the unyielding beauty of brutalist design.

The octagonal case, measuring a modern 37mm by 33mm, defies convention. This is architecture as much as it is a watch, sharp angles and clean lines echoing the bold silhouettes of brutalist icons like London’s Barbican Estate, Boston’s City Hall and the Tesla Cybertruck which also resembles this watch.

The black dial is a study in contrasts, a void that draws you in and refuses to let go. No unnecessary flourishes, no distractions; just design. Beneath the austere exterior beats the self-winding Longines Caliber L633.1; like the concrete giants of brutalist architecture, a movement built to endure.

This is a timepiece for those who see the elegance in exposed concrete, who are moved by the interplay of shadows and texture and who understand that sometimes the most profound statements are made in silence. It is not for everyone, and that is precisely its power.
